Today people have been voting for who they want to run their constituency. The most MP's will win but the party must have 326 seats to win a majority and automatically become Prime Minister. If not (which happened in the General Election 2010) then the winning party must find another party to form a collation. There are 650 seats in total.
There are 7 main parties as followed:
Conservatives (currently lead a collation) - David Cameron (since 2005)
Labour - Ed Milliband (since 2010)
Liberal Democrats (currently in a collation) - Nick Clegg (since 2007)
UKIP - Nigal Farage (since 2010)
Green Party - Natlie Bennett (since 2012)
SNP (only for Scotland) - Nicola Sturgeon (since 2014)
Plaid Cyrmu (only for Wales) - Leanne Wood (since 2012)
DUP (only for Northern Ireland) - Peter Robinson (since 2008)
Sinn Fein (only for Northern Ireland) - Gerry Adams (since 2013)
SDLP (only for Northern Ireland) - Alisdair McConnel (since 2009)
Alliance Party (only for Northern Ireland) - David Ford (since 2010)
Respect - George Galloway (since 2012)
BNP - Adam Walker (since 2014)
